Michael Hume from Massachusetts loves animals and wanted to adopt a donkey when he read about Bandit in the newspaper last year. He decided to adopt Chula our youngest donkey. Michael rescues dogs at home.

Jill Cliby grew up on Aruba but now lives in the States. Her friend Hetty, who adopted Sombrero, gave her the inspiration to also adopt a donkey and she chose Maartje. Jill thinks we do a great job.

Jill renewed the adoption, even though we couldn't make a new picture with Maartje. Maartje moved to live in the other sanctuary last year. Before the end of the year 2014 we want to move all the donkeys to the new sanctuary.

Beth Olszweski and her husband Tom visited the sanctuary 3 years ago and loved it. They are estate caretakers in the US.  Nine years ago they adopted a donkey, goat and shetland pony in the US when the owner could not take them when he moved. Amigo the donkey is fascinated with zippers and boot strings. They decided to help us and adopted Sonic.

Jeanne O'Rourke from Massachusetts read about the donkeys in the newspaper. She is sad that all the donkeys cannot roam free on the island and decided to help. She adopted Azzy who is a very loving but shy donkey.
